Vibe coding could reshape SaaS industry and add security risks, warns UK cyber agency

Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre warned that the rise of “vibe coding” — AI-generated software with minimal human input — could disrupt the SaaS industry and create new cybersecurity risks if organizations fail to adapt. NCSC chief executive Richard Horne urged at the RSA Conference that AI coding tools must be designed to generate secure code by default, with model integrity checks and automated testing to prevent the spread of vulnerabilities. #NCSC #vibeCoding
